President Schmoke Discusses DeVos Invitation

In an interview with The Chronicle of Higher Education, University of Baltimore President Kurt L. Schmoke talks about his reasons for inviting U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos to deliver a keynote address at UB's Commencement this coming December.

"[H]aving her at our university is in the best interest of the University of Baltimore because I'm trying to convey to our students the message that they're graduating into a world in which not everyone agrees with, or has the same point of view on, every public policy issue that is before us," Schmoke said.
